Correct Answer: rather
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

  •  The word 'fairly' is used positively and is not followed by the word 'too'.
  • - The word 'fair' is an adjective.
  • - The word 'rather' is employed in a positive and comparative sense, and it is followed by the word 'too'.
  • - As a result, to make the phrase grammatically correct, the word 'rather' should be employed.
  • - As a result, the right response is 'rather'.
  • Correct sentence: There was a time when the national marriage rate was rather too high.
